Angry shoppers have pushed bank giants, retailers, and other companies that miss the mark into the Elite 8 of Consumerist.com's sixth annual Worst Company in America tournament. Top-seeded Bank of America, a fixture of the tournament since acquiring Countrywide, locked its spot in the Elite 8 with a giant 87 percent of the vote against DirecTV. It now faces off against Walmart, the largest retailer in the world.

Fan-favorite and 2010 Grand Champion Comcast has already advanced to the Elite 8 for the fourth straight year and will now go against telecom giant AT&T. Ticketmaster, notorious for it's hefty ticket fees, looks to be a contender after beating Sony with 83 percent of the vote. It will now face off against Chase, which recently ended its debit cards reward program. Look for the overall winner to be named and shamed April 18. Top
